Once upon a time in the not-too- distant past, there was an election. It scared most of us in the LGBT community, myself included. I remember vividly working my way through most of a fifth of Jameson the night of the election as the results came in.
The next month or so I spent a good deal of time fighting despair. I was sure things were going to get very, very ugly, but I didn’t know what to do. Many of my fellow authors were struggling with the same thoughts. And how in the hell do we right under that cloud?
It was quite obvious to me that we needed good stories more than ever—to escape the depression, to find home, to see the positive side of things. But how to write when our own emotions are in such turmoil?
At the same time the #Resist movement had been born. I realized it was good opportunity to help me focus in a positive direction and offer some up. Thus, the Resist & Triumph anthology was born.
My contribution to the anthology wasn’t exactly light for the whole thing. It was, in fact, quite dark. But I wanted to show that, if I can quote Dumbledore from the Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban
movie:
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest times if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
So, I thought maybe I should… turn on the light. Even with things are hard and scary and dark, there is light and I wanted to show that. We’ve had more than a few dark moments in the history of our country, but we made it out on the other side. With White Rabbit, I wanted to show that now, too, we can do that.
“White Rabbit” is part of the Resist & Triumph Anthology
The unthinkable has happened. Seemingly in the blink of an eye, the United States has taken a giant leap backward in equality. Women have lost their rights. The government, having undergone a coup, has taken control with an iron fist.
And LGBT people are downright illegal.
New camps have been set up to “treat” LGBT folks and many are being turned in to be sent to one, even by their own families. When one of Josh’s students approaches him to explain he’ll be leaving– running to hide– Josh can’t resist helping. He takes Andy home and, with the help of his partners Keith, Lainey, and Sara, comes up with a plan for getting Andy to safety.
Despite the high potential for disaster, they’re determined to keep Andy out of the camps. If they succeed, though, they could make a bigger difference than any of them could possibly imagine.
_____________________
As 2017 opened, the United States took several steps back in the progress toward equality. In response, a group of authors has stepped up to offer positive stories of hope and love. In an effort to help fight and support those groups who are facing even greater challenges, we wrote these stories to offer a small amount of aid.
Stories of hope, resistance, and ultimately triumph fill the pages of this anthology. All proceeds of the anthology go to The Trevor Project and GLAAD to help fight the effects of the dark times we’re facing.
Author bio: Grace Duncan grew up with a wild imagination. She told stories from an early age—many of which got her into trouble. Eventually, she learned to channel that imagination into less troublesome areas, including fanfiction, which is what has led her to writing male/male erotica. A gypsy in her own right, Grace has lived all over the United States. She has currently set up camp in East Texas with her husband and children – both the human and furry kind. As one of those rare creatures who loves research, Grace can get lost for hours on the internet, reading up on any number of strange and different topics. She can also be found writing fanfiction, reading fantasy, crime, suspense, romance and other erotica or even dabbling in art.
